| Sarah Gore Dishes About Her New Husband and Big <b>Wedding Day</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 24 Apr 2014 12:54 AM PDT Sarah Gore couldn't be happier right now! Last week, she married her fiancé Patrick Maiani in the small, California beach town of Carpinteria. Gore, the youngest daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, shared exclusive details about her romantic day with PEOPLE. She also revealed why she chose the "offbeat" spot for her wedding venue. "It was such a happy day," Gore told the publication. "My husband Patrick and I chose the spot in Carpinteria because there is an enormous Torrey pine tree there, in a beautiful field next to a coffee shop and a bike shop." The 35-year-old artist went on to explain the significance of the tree, and how it serves as a symbolic metaphor for their marriage. "We loved the energy of the tree and what it represents for our marriage, with strong roots and shade – and warm drinks just steps away!" When asked about her loving groom, she had no reservations about doting on the man she loves. Gore dished about her new husband, sharing the heartwarming details about how they met. "Patrick and I met at a real-estate open house on the street he grew up on, in June of last year. I was getting to know the neighborhood, walked into this little house, and he was there, sitting on the couch." She also recounted how they eventually fell in love. and eventually fell in love. "Once we started talking, we didn't want to stop. We took a walk to get coffee, ended up having dinner and afterwards dancing at the Biltmore [Hotel], where he sat down at the piano and played – he's an amazing pianist and songwriter." That particular day was definitely a milestone in their relationship. "We've been together ever since," she said. Gore and Maiani, an accomplished Montecito, Calif.-based pianist, met back in June of 2013 while attending a real estate open house.

| Hayden Panettiere Reveals Her Dream <b>Wedding Day</b> Look Posted: 22 Apr 2014 11:08 AM PDT  Mike Windle, Getty Images Ever since 'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere got engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko, fans have been all ears regarding her wedding plans. She recently gave more details on her wedding youthful and sexy look. "I would like some really long, loose boho beach waves and just a nice golden tan," Panettiere tells People. Since the actress is sporting a short hairstyle these days, she will need to go the way of extensions on her big day. "I want to be classy and elegant and sophisticated, but I also don't want to forget my age. I want to be comfortable. I want it to be just sexy enough, but youthful at the same time. I don't want to look so done up," she says. Since the 24-year-old is so gorgeous already, it won't be hard for her to pull off classy, elegant, sophisticated, sexy and youthful all at the same time. With her wedding coming up and the fact that her character on 'Nashville' is known for blonde locks, Panettiere can't really do anything drastic with her mane. But, if she had her choice, she'd go colorful! "I would probably do a combo of the light blue, lavender and maybe a really light pink," she shares. "I mean if I did my whole head, I would probably go for lavender. My friend on set did her hair with this very, very light pink and it kind of has a multicolor look on the ends. It's really light and really pretty. We would have to see what looks best." Panettiere's fellow 'Nashville' actors are hitting the road for a live tour, and the season finale of the show airs May 14 on ABC. |
| <b>Wedding Day</b> Survival for Introverts · Rock n Roll Bride Posted: 23 Apr 2014 12:00 AM PDT
Dear Kat I was just hoping you might have some tips or advice you could share? The wedding industry is pretty much built around the idea that your wedding is supposed to be this big entertainment circus where you are the main attraction. It's enough to make even the most extroverted of us hyperventilate with stage fright. Of course this couldn't be further from the truth and if I try to do one thing more than anything else with this blog, its to demonstrate to you that you can – and should – do YOUR wedding YOUR way! For the record, as you probably guessed, I am not an introvert. While I love spending time at home with my husband and my cats, I adore nothing more than being surrounded by people – laughing, chatting and catching up. I feel energised by talking to others and much prefer to be with someone else than spending time alone. You probably know this already but while extroverts draw their energy from others, introverts recharge their batteries by being on their own. Gareth is a classic introvert by the way (which actually works well for us, I can be out doing my thang while he's perfectly content to hold the fort at home!) The fact the we are at opposite ends of the extrovert/introvert spectrum is not a problem for us, as long as we respect each other's needs. But I digress…
Here are a few simple tips for those introverted babes amongst you who are feeling worrisome about being the centre of attention on your wedding day: Realise that it's not all about youThe notion that this is "your big day" can be terrifying for introverts but weddings are as much for the family and friends of the couple as they are for the couple themselves. Weddings bring people together. In fact your wedding day will probably be the first day in a long time that everyone you know and love is in the same room. Your family and friends are not there to be vicious energy sucking vampires. They simply want to share in your joy and to show their love and support for you and your marriage. The bride and groom do not have to be constantly at the centre of everyone's attention. You are but the reason for everyone to be there together. Most of your guests will be perfectly happy catching up with each other, reminiscing, laughing, drinking, dancing… I promise, you do not have to put on a massive show for them! For many people forced entertainment is a lot more annoying than the old classics anyway – flowing wine, good tunes and a little bit of dancing! Have a small weddingIf having all eyes on you is something that fills you with dread then why not have a small wedding? Or at least keep the ceremony (often the most nerve-racking part) intimate? Legally, you only need to have two witnesses at a wedding ceremony (in the UK) and there is no law saying you have to invite everyone you know along for the ride! If a full on elopement is out of the question for whatever reason, a low-key ceremony followed by a more casual reception might be the way forward. Take the focus off the brideThere are definitely small adaptations you can make throughout your wedding so you are not the focus of everyone's attention. Have a think about what parts of the day are making you the most anxious – is it walking down the aisle, saying your vows in front of everyone, the first dance? Then change them! Honestly, who says you have to walk down the aisle anyway? Did you see this wedding where the bride didn't? Or this one where the couple walked in together? So good! Remember rules are made to be broken and if any of these big wedding traditions really aren't your bag, then get rid – immediately!
Take time away regularlyFor a lot of introverts, having to be sociable for a long period of time can be especially daunting. The first thing you could do to combat this is to have a shorter wedding day. If the idea of being tucked up in bed with some wedding cake and your new husband by 8pm sounds like your idea of bliss then do that! Secondly, allow yourself time away regularly. Maybe there's a side room in your venue that you could slip into when you need a moment? As long as the key people (your parents, your new husband/wife) know what's up and that you haven't done a runner (!) this could be a great way to take the pressure off. Finally, you could also have a longer gap between the ceremony and reception so there is some time in the middle for you to rest and recharge. Honesty, most people wont even notice if you slip off for some alone time at various intervals through the day so don't feel weird about having to do so! Appoint an on-the-day co-ordinatorIf you're panicked about having to be the organiser and 'in charge', then hire a day-of co-ordinator to take the reigns. You could even appoint a responsible bridesmaid or parent with the role. Make sure this person understands your introvert-related concerns and that anyone else involved in the wedding knows to go to them if they had questions or issues. Doing this will mean you won't be spending your precious energy on dealing with last minute details or stresses, and you can hopefully enjoy yourself more knowing that someone else is in control.
Your wedding day is a day for you to celebrate with the people that you love and because of this the energy at a wedding is very different to a regular party – There's nothing like the same anxiety you might get trying to impress strangers, for example. While the reason for the day is you and your fiancé, you won't always be the centre of everyone's attention. A wedding is about so much more than just the two of you. It's about love, it's about family, it's about everyone coming together and having jolly a good time. So don't worry about all eyes being on you all the time, because they won't be. You might be the reason for everyone to be there, but you don't have to be headline act. Supporting Cast

| This Bride Braved a Storm for Her <b>Wedding Day</b> — Would You <b>...</b> Posted: 23 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT
Is there anything a bride-to-be fears more than rain on her wedding day? Probably. But rain ranks right up there with a torn dress, missing maid-of-honor, and uncooperative flower girls. But a tropical storm? Well, that would put a damper on even the most optimistic of brides. But that's exactly what newlywed Alice was faced with on the eve before her big day. For today's #MarriedInModCloth feature, the recently wedded Alice shares the tips, tricks, and rainy day scares that made her wedding day amazing: Newlyweds: Alice (bride) and Jack (groom). Gigs: Alice is a grad student in clinical psychology and Jack is a political consultant How did you meet?: We met in a bar! We hear you had a weather scare on your big day: There was a huge tropical storm the night before! We were scrambling to make sure everyone made it to the island. Waking up to a glorious morning the day-of was such a huge relief.
Can you tell us a bit about what you're wearing in your photos?: I wanted classic and fun. And pockets! I wore Modcloth for the rehearsal (above) and my bridesmaids rocked it (the Luck Be a Lady Dress in Navy and Ivory) for the big day. Two of my bridesmaids have already worn their dresses again … when does that actually happen? What was your first dance song?: "It Had to Be You" — the Harry Connick Jr. version from the movie When Harry Met Sally. Most memorable moment from the big day?: The awesome dance party that I didn't want to end!
